Inkzee started some years ago as a solo project from Alex Barrera with the idea of building a powerfull smart online blog aggregator (aka reader) that helped overcoming the information overload problem by filtering and grouping news pieces that talked about the same subject. Based on that first product, Inkzee continued to develop and recently released a business product, Inkzee enterprise, which brought the power of aggregators to companies. Currently we develop business solutions with our enterprise product for companies that need to build and manage vertical strategic channels of information.
